T-Shirts

I’m currently (Oct 2013) trying to get The Fencing Shop to produce t-shirts of Chris Hollis’ amusing cartoons, which appear in British Fencing’s Sword magazine. Drop them an email if you’re interested.

Books

It’s always nice to have your own which you can ‘make your own’ with the handle of your choice, a blade which you can have ‘set’ to your own requirements.

Deals can be made if purchasing a full beginners set of equipment (Eg.1 or Eg.2, other options are available too) but if a more modest present is wanted here my suggestion for the order in which you might want to buy things:

Either fencing shoes or good court shoes

Foil + protective plastic sheaf (looks like plastic piping)

Glove

Mask (get one with a removable fabric inner which can be washed, if possible)

Fencing bag (Guitar style which holds all your kit)

Jacket

Plastron

To buy the above go to my Kit Suppliers page for a list of web site links for the various retailers. If you have any questions please contact me my email address is on the Contact page.
